WHAT IS PROJECT SCHEDULING DURING BUILDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION?

Scheduling is the task to get the subcontractors on a project at the right time and in the right sequence. In project management, a schedule comprises of a series of terminal elements with planned start and end dates. These elements are often estimated in terms of budget, resource requirements, and duration. The main aim of a schedule is to complete building design and construction on time and without any confusion.

A project schedule is typically comprised of:

Sequence of Tasks

It would be impossible to manage a project if the sequence of events were unknown or ambiguous. Hence, knowing the right progression, i.e. which sub contractor will be required when, is important to getting a project completed on time.

Duration of Tasks

The duration of every task depends on certain factors, the project’s size, manpower used, and the complication of the building design. A schedule is important not only to set the length of the current tasks, and related tasks but also to adjust everything in case there is change.

Critical Path

The critical path is a series of tasks that decide the duration of the construction project. If a task on this critical path is postponed by one day, the project is delayed by one day. A schedule displaystheitems that are on the critical path and how they are affecting the other tasks.
